hello!

I am pretty terrible at introductions so I am keen to keep this short. If you recognize me from another autism website - yeah it's me. I'm doing a great job keeping my digital footprint unrecognizable. (Sarcasm.)

A late-diagnosed woman who is trying to navigate a world of normies by pretending to be a normal and well-adjusted office lady. Part time farmer with the BF as well. Some days I tell myself I am not autistic and it's all in my head, but then I cry because I get too overwhelmed to call someone lmao.

I want to make some new friends and hopefully give some decent advice. I think masking for over 22 years kind of helps. (I am now 26, 22 at the time of my diagnosis)

Thank you as well! I honestly was just bored at work and surfing the net for any other forums, found this place.
 
Glad to have you!

Did your diagnosis help you at all? 22 that's relatively early, although not very early. I was a few years later!

Howdy -

It did. I sought out an answer to several questions I had about myself, and it helped answer many of them. Now I wonder if some C-PSTD symptoms overlap with my autism, but I'm not sure if I have the energy to go down that path yet lol. It took me some time to consider I was possibly autistic, let alone start the research I was.

I'm also in a good place mentally and physically. While I probably should get therapy for past trauma, I don't find myself really needing it. Things can just go up I guess so I will enjoy the ride.
 
Glad to have you with us, @honeytoast

I hope you enjoy your time with us and come across many friends along the way. We all are a work in progress at different levels.

Thank you!

I no longer use social media (unless forum websites count), so my interactions with people dwindled downwards. What a good statement that last bit is.
 
Hello and welcome.

I counted and there are 36 "i"s in your "hi". Was that random, or is there perhaps a meaning to the number?
